Most Amazing Black and White Photography in 2021

Since we’re in the first half of 2021, it’s hard to predict who will be the absolute winner for black and white photography this year. However, we can look at some of the fantastic photos from this year and check what makes them so unique.

When it comes to black and white photography, it’s more than just taking a photo. It’s capturing emotions, expressions, and everything about the subject in the photo. The photographer should have enough experience and know how to make this photo stand out. For example, if you are doing a black and white portrait, the first thing to know is how to make your subject unique. And after you achieve this, you need to make the black and white photo in a good way.

Let’s go through some of the most amazing black and white photos of the year, so you can find your inspiration and start shooting.

Note that there is an award for all the different photography categories – abstract, architecture, fashion, nature, etc.

Most amazing black and white photo

For example, you can check Drew Doggett’s photo Wisdom Keepers. The photo won a gold award last year for the best representation of wildlife. In 2021, it’s still holding the title of one of the best wildlife photos. If you’re looking for something more abstract, Kenneth Lam’s Two-Sided Wind Flower is the choice for you.

Natalie Houlding’s photo One life won last year the golden award for the category people, and still, nobody could come near this photo.

Why artist decide to shoot a black and white photo

According to the world’s stats, the best-looking black and white photos are portraits, landscapes, and abstract photos. If you are looking to shoot one of those, you won’t make the mistake to go black and white. Black and white will remove the distraction of colors, and you will focus on your object or a subject. Also, this type of photography tends to awake certain emotions. As mentioned above, there is a picture of Natalie Houlding – One heart. This picture is unique and emotional precisely because it’s black and white. Because black and white bring the raw nature, and nothing can blind you from the main focus. You’re looking at something as it is.

If you have a landscape or photo shooting of nature, you will get nature at its purest shape instead of filtered colors exactly as it is.

Using different tones of black and white, you can express much more than you could ever do using any color at your disposal. People are focusing on the shapes and nuances instead of many different colors.

Conclusion

It’s yet to be seen who will win the most amazing black and white photography award in 2021. There are many good candidates for sure, and this type of art will be more and more popular. Whether you are a pro or a nonpro photographer, this type of photography is definitely something you should practice.
